I have a new Suse 10 installation and want to allow my grandson to access with ftp any of my files from his remote location. And also telnet. I can't remember how to do this and sure would appreciate some help.
In a word, don't. Instead use ssh and scp. Use ssh for a secure login to the machine and scp to copy files in a secure manner. Use of standard ftp and telnet are -not- secure and could result in your machine being broken into. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
